Washington Aesthetics: J. Carter Brown and the CFA, 1971-2002

J. Carter Brown occupied the chair of the Commission of Fine Arts longer than any other individual and his tenure was one of the more contentious. Brown (1934—2002) from his position as the director of the National Gallery of Art from 1969 to 1992 was one of the most revered and prominent spokespersons for art in the United States. Among the many projects that came in front of the Commission of Fine Arts during his tenure were the controversial Vietnam War Memorial, The World War II Memorial, the F. D. Roosevelt Memorial, the expansion of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, The American Indian Museum, the west front of the U. S. Capitol, the Ronald Reagan Building in the Federal Triangle and many others, including the East Building of the National Gallery of Art.
